Legislative Action Taken: | Concurred As Substituted and Amended | |
Final Text: |
Resolved, That the Executive Council implement a program for Jubilee Volunteers for Mission to include:
A. Aggressive recruiting of rural and urban volunteers, with particular emphasis on attracting ethnic minorities.
B. A goal of 30 Jubilee Volunteers for domestic poverty placements in 1986, 40 in 1987, and 30 in 1988 to a continuing level of 100.
- Priority for placements is to be given to Jubilee Centers in the hope that they will recruit from among the local indigenous population.
- The establishment of Christian community households for Jubilee volunteers is to be explored.
- Normal commitment by a Jubilee Volunteer is to be two years. Contact shall be maintained with the Jubilee Volunteers throughout the two years of service, with a debriefing conference, including theological reflection on the experience, and assistance with the question of subsequent vocation. Costs are to be shared by local and national resources.
